Friday lunch: gohan + natto + Calpis soda

I am Cyclelicious.

Lunch last Friday was a bowl of gohan and natto.

The gohan (rice) was regular Calrose rice.

Natto is fermented soy beans. The soy beans are cultured like cheese or yogurt and left to basically rot. The result is gooey and sticky with a very strong odor -- you can stink up the whole house with this stuff. I've enjoyed it since I was a little kid and I still love the stuff.

The polka dot bottle on the table is "Calpis soda." Calpis is a Japanese cultured milk drink, something like a yogurt drink. I'ts kind of sour, kind of sweet.

This is a carbonated version of that. When I was a teen I and my friends drank Calpis while joking about drinking "cow piss." Har har har.

That's my work laptop in the picture, sitting on the dining table. I worked from home. The little calculator looking thing is the magic doodad that let's me work from home. It generates the secret passwords for me to use to login to the work network.
